      bootmem: reorder interface functions and add a missing one · 2d0aae41
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: cleanup and addition of missing interface wrapper
      
      The interface functions in bootmem.h was ordered in not so orderly
      manner.  Reorder them such that
      
      * functions allocating the same area group together -
        ie. alloc_bootmem group and alloc_bootmem_low group.
      
      * functions w/o node parameter come before the ones w/ node parameter.
      
      * nopanic variants are immediately below their panicky counterparts.
      
      While at it, add alloc_bootmem_pages_node_nopanic() which was missing.

      bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrapping · c1329375
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping
      
      By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define
      arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation.  However, this is done
      a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be
      changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions
      can't be wrapped.  This not only is messy but also leads to strange
      situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but
      the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be
      able to be used interchangeably.
      
      This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the
      backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel
      interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping.  Also,
      HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM.

      Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic
              percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones
      
      Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both
      static and dynamic percpu areas.  This will allow static and dynamic
      areas to share faster direct access methods.  This feature is optional
      and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by
      arch.  Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details.

      vmalloc: implement vm_area_register_early() · f0aa6617
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: allow multiple early vm areas
      
      There are places where kernel VM area needs to be allocated before
      vmalloc is initialized.  This is done by allocating static vm_struct,
      initializing several fields and linking it to vmlist and later vmalloc
      initialization picking up these from vmlist.  This is currently done
      manually and if there's more than one such areas, there's no defined
      way to arbitrate who gets which address.
      
      This patch implements vm_area_register_early(), which takes vm_area
      struct with flags and size initialized, assigns address to it and puts
      it on the vmlist.  This way, multiple early vm areas can determine
      which addresses they should use.  The only current user - alpha mm
      init - is converted to use it.

      percpu: kill percpu_alloc() and friends · f2a8205c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: kill unused functions
      
      percpu_alloc() and its friends never saw much action.  It was supposed
      to replace the cpu-mask unaware __alloc_percpu() but it never happened
      and in fact __percpu_alloc_mask() itself never really grew proper
      up/down handling interface either (no exported interface for
      populate/depopulate).
      
      percpu allocation is about to go through major reimplementation and
      there's no reason to carry this unused interface around.  Replace it
      with __alloc_percpu() and free_percpu().

      libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My Book · 9062712f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures.  It's usually
      okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some
      WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission
      failures and after it only power cycling can revive them.  Combined
      with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly
      which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender,
      this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain
      configurations virtually rendering them unusable.
      
      This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book
      such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.

      libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way · 99cf610a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
      ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
      dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
      to remain persistent over multiple porbing events.  This patch
      achieves this by doing the following.
      
      * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
        clear between BEGIN and END.  ering is moved after END.  The split
        of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
      
      * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
        attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
        time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
        inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
        of the next one.

      modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting · 720eba31
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
      using a lot of memory.
      
      Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
      
      This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
      percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
      
      Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
      nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
      
      On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
      size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
      
      Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
      because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
      NUMA properties, since each  CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
      thanks to percpu storage.
